Sure. He had agency though. As did his killer.

My favorite thing is when I notice the chain is emailing people who don’t need to see it and Reply All after moving them to BCC (I add a note saying “moved X to BCC” for transparency).

People love me :-)

It’s okay to be wrong! He corrected himself and thanked you — that good sir is what a Trekkie should do. The first duty is to the truth.

Same, I use it as my travel laptop. I like this keyboard + stand.

How do you get better at playing the guitar without actually playing the guitar?

(edit): Point taken, but “playing the guitar” still wins by a mile

While I agree with others pointing out the oddity of a portable server in general: this sounds like a great use-case for a laptop.

Built-in battery, wifi you can broadcast out as a hotspot, and it even has a display/keyboard/mouse for troubleshooting!

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

Elon: “Amateurs”

You could spell out “fuck Elon Musk” in bacon. Just saying…

I didn’t like the way he looked at me.

Ah, hadn’t thought of that, good call. I buy old Macs and fix them up.

Updates to macOS are free; the hardware sales make that possible.

Updates to third-party apps like MS Office and Adobe are entirely at the discretion of that vendor (both of those are likely subscription-only at this point).

LibreOffice is available for macOS, yes.

I think Oracle’s VirtualBox is still free for emulation. You can also use Boot Camp to install Windows natively for dual-booting.

I like that McFarlane just said “fuck that” in The Orville. He kept the gist — leave developing civilizations alone — but doesn’t even consider allowing them to go extinct for stupid reasons.
